Draggin Jeans and DuPont Kevlar join forces
The first motorcycle jeans manufacturer to be officially licensed to use DuPont
DRAGGIN Jeans has become the world’s first manufacturer of motorcycle jeans to be officially licensed to use DuPont Kevlar, the original developer of aramid fibre in 1965.
Kevlar is lightweight and five times the strength of steel on an equal-weight basis.
Each pair of Draggin Jeans feature a protective lining made from a combination of Kevlar and Dyneema, secured with heavy duty triple stitching in the main impact areas.
The lining is breathable, non-allergenic and survived EU abrasion testing in key impact areas for 4.4 seconds.
Grant Mackintosh, founder and CEO of Draggin, says: “This is a big deal for Draggin, motorcyclists and the wider motorcycling community. We are concerned with the safety of motorcyclists and that is why we are proud to become an official licensee of DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber for our motorcycle jeans. For me this license is an important part of Draggin’s technical development, so I am excited about the steps forward we will make with the relationship with DuPont.”
